Welcome to the first episode of the Ikigaia Podcast, where I speak with people on purpose.

Today, I'm joined by digital nomad, writer, tea lover, and community builder Emily Milsom.

In this episode, we chat about employee advocacy and how building a life on purpose is all about finding your balance and creating your standards.

Emily started her freelancer journey back in 2016 while working her regular 9 to 5 at a marketing agency in the UK. Feeling tired of doing the same thing every day and dreaming about being her own boss, she decided to take the plunge and launched The Social Boffin.

Once in business, the social media expert started traveling the world to some of the most popular digital nomad destinations.

Places like Greece, Bali, and Thailand witnessed her growth not only as a human being but also as a professional. 

Emily is sure her strongest asset is sharing her knowledge and teaching people which is reflected in her passion for public speaking and education.

'Keep being brave, keep moving forward, keep learning and you'll get where you want to be'

During our conversation, Emily shares a piece of advice for those starting a nomadic life.

She thinks it's important to keep in mind that where you start is not where you're going to end up as long as you're always willing to grow. Allow yourself to find your criteria, set the pace for the life that you want, and understand your life is meant to be lived, not to be worked.

Things you will learn in this episode:

  • What is employee advocacy and why it's so powerful
  • How to create a well rounded work-life balance when working remotely.
  • How to know your worth, set boundaries, and work with projects you're really passionate about.
  • The importance of learning what your client needs before establishing your offers.
  • How to network, connect with the right people, and find job opportunities.
